United Nations Headquarters, New York, has been transformed into a world capital since September 14, 2021, and until September 27. It receives delegations from 193 Member States of the United Nations, for the General Assembly of this world organization.
All these States, having an equal vote, are gathered around the theme “Building on hope to build resilience to recover from Covid-19, rebuild sustainably, meet the needs of the planet, respect human rights and revitalize the United Nations.”
